Objective: To investigate the preparation, optimization and in vitro properties of riboflavin sodium phosphate floating microspheres.
Methods: The floating microspheres composed of riboflavin sodium phosphate and calcium alginate were prepared using ion gelatin-oven drying method.
Results: The properties of the microspheres were investigated, including the buoyancy, release, appearance and entrapment efficiency. The formulation was optimized by response surface methodology (RSM).
Conclusion: The optimized microspheres were round. The entrapment efficiency was 57.49%. All the microspheres could float on the artificial gastric juice over 8 hours. The release of the drug from the microspheres complied with Fick's diffusion.

Articular cartilage faces challenges in self-repair due to the lack of blood vessels and limited chondrocyte concentration. Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) shows promise for promoting chondrocyte growth and cartilage regeneration, but its delivery has been limited to injections. Continuous PDRN delivery is crucial for effective cartilage regeneration.

Background/objectives: The rise in chronic metabolic diseases has led to the exploration of alternative diets. The carnivore diet, consisting exclusively of animal products, has gained attention, anecdotally, for imparting benefit for inflammatory conditions beyond that possible by other restrictive dietary approaches. The aim was to assess the micronutrient adequacy of four versions of the carnivore diet against national nutrient reference values (NRVs).

This work pioneered an innovative visible light-powered, self-cascading peroxide antimicrobial packaging system (RPFe-CS), featuring a photodynamic enhancement effect achieved through the demand-oriented design of riboflavin sodium phosphate and Fe coordination complexes (RPFe) fillers with photodynamic and peroxidase activities, and the ingenious selection of slightly acidic chitosan (CS) film matrix. In this system, the photo-responsive properties of RPFe particles not only generate the •O, •OH, and O required for photodynamic sterilization, but also the produced HO serves as a necessary substrate for peroxidase to exert its bactericidal effect, endowing the packaging system with a "self-production and self-marketing" cascade process. The RPFe-CS film achieved efficient eradication to bacteria and fungi reaching up to 99.

Microbial electrochemical systems offer a sustainable method for the conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy or hydrogen and the production of valuable compounds, contributing to the development of a bio-based economy. This study aimed to enhance the performance of anodic bioelectrochemical systems by improving the current density of Shewanella oneidensis as a biocatalyst through strain modification and medium refinement. The genetic modification, combining the prophage deletion and overexpression of the speC gene, resulted in a 4.
